Alien: The Original Screenplay #2

by Cristiano Seixas

The intercepted voice transmission has been interpreted—a dire warning . . . but is it too late? As the crew continues to survey the massive pyramid structure, they find an entrance. Who goes in, won't come out alone . . . Adapted from the original 1976 screenplay by Dan O'Bannon (author of Moebius's The Long Tomorrow, cowriter of Total Recall, writer/director of The Return of the Living Dead).

The facehugger

The story continues in much the same way as the first issue; some superficial changes from the movie, and I can see why the movie direction was chosen.

I am a bit disappointed that the story is materially the same as the final product (as opposed to the original script for Alien 3).

There was a slight improvement in characterization.

Reading history:
Normally I keep this in my private notes section, but I'm moving it. Yay!

Reading history was not added on Goodreads, but was instead kept on a post-it note with the book.

El arte es increible y a pesar de ya saber la historia es realmente atrapante revisitar este clásico ahora en formato cómic.
